Jolly has been racing for years, much like everyone else in her family. She started off in go-karts when she was seven and then worked her way up to monster trucks, as one does, by the time she was 19. She drove the Pastrana 199 truck during her tenure at FGCU, a gig she got after singing the national anthem when Monster Jam was out by the university. She wanted to try one out and discovered a natural aptitude.

Jolly would take classes through Wednesday, jet off to a monster truck event on Thursday, and be back on Sunday for more school. That doesn't leave a lot of time for studying.

As for that beauty queen title? Jolly won "Swamp Buggy Queen" at Florida Sports Park, making her the "sweetheart of the Florida Sports Park." A reporter hypothesized that she'd also become "Queen of the Monster Trucks."
